Hotel Casablanca Salinas

Location, comfortable, room size.

WiFi!

Excellent location in front of beach. Well maintained hotel. Good food from restaurant.

Overpriced breakfast buffet and room rate. Air conditioner in room not cooling sufficiently. Faulty old style electric showerhead.

Clean, quiet, great breakfast, and awesome location.

Wish my bathroom had been larger.

As always, the location right on the beachfront cannot be beat

I gave them a second try from my visit earlier this year. The prior time the air-conditioning was weak while the room was small but nicely appointed. This time was very bad. The room fixtures were all ancient: Worndown bed sheets and covers, old desk and chairs, a small tight bathroom that resembles one from the 60s with its electrocuting style showerhead, very poor looking fixtures that you would get in a $20 per night hotel, and a small ants colony that lives in the bathroom. One night around 10pm I was ready to take a shower and there was no water in the room. Had to walk out to the front desk and the guy went to the utilities room to turn on the water. I know the restaurant food is good because I tried them before, but the buffet breakfast is below average and not worth paying extra for. There are too many places on or near the malecon where you can have a good breakfast for half the price. My overall observation is do not just book this place for the location because it is the only positive thing. The rooms are a major disappointment and betrays the look of the hotel at the front. The price charged for these outdated rooms do not give you fair value or comfort you would be happy with if you go to Salinas for a vacation. This hotel struggles to make a 3-star level.
